overall student achievement.
(Means, Jonassen, & Dwyer, 1997)

increased the completion rates of students

Today, we are very pleased to introduce Tonka Jokelova in her Fellow Chat, “Motivation in Online Teaching with the ARCS Instructional Design Model.” This is Part One of a two part series.
Tonka is a Coordinator of Curriculum and Instructional Design at the SUNY Empire State College's Center for Distance Learning. There she coordinates online course development and revisions, designs and teaches webinars for course developers, and researches and works with accessibility-promoting methods for online course design. Tonka also teaches online. She considers herself a teacher by profession, mission, and passion. She has taught every age group, and has taught in both traditional and online modalities.
Tonka has earned a Ph.D. in instructional design from the University of South Alabama. Her research interests are motivation and accessibility in online learning.
Tonka, on behalf of the COTE Community of Practice, thank you for joining us today and sharing what you know about motivation in online teaching.
Self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan) – autonomy, competence, relatedness
Competence (White)
Theory of needs (McClelland) – power, achievement, affiliation
Flow (Csikszentmihalyi) – when challenges match our skills
Locus of control (Rotter) – I can control what is happening to me, around me
Attribution (Weiner)
Self-efficacy (Bandura) – I can do it!
Goal orientation (Nicholls)
Wlodkowski: What motivates people is often beyond the inherent structure of the knowledge or skill the students are learning. Motivation takes people-to-people skills and time. Like a good conversation, it cannot be rushed. (Wlodkowski, R. J. (1999). Enhancing adult motivation to learn: A comprehensive guide for teaching all adults. San Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass.)
Establish inclusion – creating learning atmosphere in which learners and instructors feel respected by and connected to one another.
Develop attitude – creating a favorable disposition toward learning through personal relevance and choice
Enhance meaning – challenging learning experiences that include learners’ perspectives and values
Engender competence – creating understanding that learners are effective in learning something they value.
Expectancy-value theory: individuals will engage in an activity if there is positive expectancy for success in it and if it is of value to them
Theories:
Curiosity (Berlyne)
Sensation-seeking (Martin, Sherrad, & Wentzel)
Cognitive dissonance (Festinger)
Strategies:
Incongruity/conflict
Non-example, devil’s advocate
Concreteness
Graphics, case studies, anecdotes
Variability
Media, styles of presentation and communication, break up long lectures; HOWEVER consistency in how information is displayed (same structure of modules)
Humor
Inquiry
Mystery, unresolved situations, puzzles, questions
Share information with students (informal photo of self)
Participation
Student involvement – survey, self-analysis, role plays, games
Theories:
Needs (McClelland) – need for achievement, need for power, need for affiliation
Competence (White) – individuals have disposition to feel competent, they tend to find a way to deal with the environment (= learn, with instructor’s help)
Flow (Csikszentmihalyi) – experiences are the most positive when our environment contains enough challenges that are matched with our abilities
Experience
State how information builds on existing knowledge/skills, group students with similar interests or backgrounds
Present worth
Present career opportunities, sense of accomplishment, personal development
Future usefulness
Describe how information relates to future goals (personal, academic, professional)
Need matching
Need for achievement, power, and affiliation – opportunities for excellence, authority, and collaborative work, ALSO predicting students’ needs (if I require papers written in APA style, I should include a section on APA style)
Modeling
Use graduates or local professionals (prerecorded videos)
Choice
Choice of activities instead of prescribed ones
CLOSING
Thank you very much for sharing what you know with us today, Tonka, and for being one of our Open SUNY Fellows to be featured in our COTE Fellow chat speaker series. We appreciate your leadership and willingness to represent our Open SUNY community of online practitioners interested in excellence in online teaching and learning.
Your chat today is one of many opportunities that will be made available to the COTE community in the future. We recognize that there may be others in our community of online practitioners that have interest and expertise to share on this topic. An online discussion area has been created in the COTE Community site and will be facilitated by Tonka, so that we can all continue this conversation online. It would be a terrific space to share what others are doing around this topic. Please join Tonka, and fellow online practitioners there to continue this discussion. Additionally, Tonka has shared some files during today’s session and these can be accessed in a Google Drive folder here http://bit.ly/COTEchat_ARCS
